Last chance to vote for ISSA’s 2017 Innovation Awards

Northbrook, IL ― The voting period for the 2017 ISSA Innovation Award program from ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, will close Friday, September 8. Voting for the awards, which recognize innovation in products and services within the cleaning industries, is available at www.issa.com/vote.

The ISSA Innovation Award program features new products and services from top manufacturers and suppliers throughout the cleaning industry. Entries are organized in five categories: Cleaning Agents, Dispensers, Equipment, Services and Technology, and Supplies and Accessories. All exhibiting entries will be on display in the ISSA Innovation Showcase, Booth 709, during the ISSA/INTERCLEAN North America 2017 Trade Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, September 11-14.

Winners will be announced at 11:45 a.m. on September 11 during the ISSA Lunch and Learn session.

While online voting closes soon, voting will continue onsite during ISSA/INTERCLEAN, with attendees able to view the products in person and cast votes for the Visitors’ Choice awards, which will be announced September 14 at 2 p.m. in the ISSA Innovation Showcase, Booth 709.

The second annual overall ISSA Innovation of the Year Award will also be presented by popular comedian and TV personality Howie Mandel during the ISSA Innovation Awards Ceremony.  This overall winner will be picked by a panel of judges with a weighted rating system based on a combination of the online and on-site voting results. The panel of judges consists of industry experts, media, and member representatives.

“We’re all excited about this year’s entries,” ISSA Executive Director John Barrett said in the release. “The ISSA Innovation Award Program is a positive way to highlight new trends in the cleaning industry and the companies that produce these advances.”
